Don't forget that we are at Riffs Bar this Thursday June 14th for the Midsummer Night of the Ocelot with suport from Axess Denied and Mike Booth.
The Ocelot Magazine reviewed our last gig, commenting " The Swindon five piece tell me they wanted to be astonauts, gigolos and cartoonists but in the end they decided they'll settle on being rock stars - They certainly didn't disappoint in that regard. Playing lots of original songs - always a good sign - Dropstone's style was fantastically varied - a hard rock element at its base but with plenty of screeching guitar solos and a technical ability that surpasses most other bands in that genre...and were full deserving of their encore at the end."
We were in the recording studio yesterday and 5 of the 7 songs are now on our myspace page - it would be great if you could let us know what you think.
